Peloponnese, Western Greece and the Ionian

The terrain of Peloponnese, Western Greece and the Ionian ranges from the low coastal plains of western Peloponnese to the Pindus mountain country in the north, creating a region of strong contrasts between shore and interior. The Ionian Sea defines its western edge, alongside islands including Corfu, Kefalonia, Zakynthos and Lefkada, while the Alpheios River runs through Elis towards the coast. Ancient Olympia, in Elis, was the sanctuary where the ancient Olympic Games were held, and its archaeological site remains one of Greece’s most important classical landmarks.
